ECFE Outdoors at Eden Prairie Outdoor Center

**Class time takes place outdoors and indoors**

Study after study shows that when children spend time playing outside, they develop confidence, language, curiosity, imagination, problem-solving and social interaction skills. The great outdoors provides unique stimulation and heightens sensory experiences that can't be replicated indoors. Together, parents and children will learn about a new animal each week, observe flying squirrels, turtles, geckos and so much more inside the Outdoor Center. We will explore nature on a 15 minute hike, enjoy circle time, do art and maybe even watch animals eat their lunch! Activities will be led by a licensed teacher and naturalist with time built in to explore. A parent educator will provide additional information on ways to support and engage your child in nature. $80 per session, sign up for one session or all.

Siblings that are under the age of 1 yr/no registration fee.
